Hayley's POV:

When I said those words, I wasn't joking.

I despised feeling helpless and in the dark, as if I had no control over what's

I didn't mind Benjamin having his secrets, but there was no way I'd stand by while he faced danger alone, without me knowing.

If only I could be honest with him about my status as an Alpha. I was sure the reason he was keeping things from me was to protect me, to shield me from danger. But I didn't want that kind of protection.

Most people would probably see it as thoughtful when a partner hid their wounds or struggles-suffering in silence to avoid worrying the other person. But that wasn't what I wanted.

I'd always wanted to fight alongside my mate, side by side, facing every challenge together.

I promised Benjamin that one day I would become his Luna, and with that promise came the responsibility to stand by him, through every difficulty and danger. I never wanted to be kept in the dark or pushed aside when it was his turn to face the worst.

After two long, tense minutes of silence, I finally heard Benjamin's strained voice on the other end of the phone.

"Are you trying to call off our engagement?"

I could hear the weakness in his voice, and though I was angry, just knowing he was alive gave me some relief.

"Send me the address!" I snapped, cutting him off before he could say another word. Without hesitation, I ended the call.

A minute later, Tyrone sent me the location.

Following the coordinates, I found myself standing in front of a small two-story wooden house.
